The Saint-Jacques Tower is an amazing historical monument left over from the medieval church of Saint-Jacques-la-Boucherie. Its Gothic architecture is mesmerizing.: Tall lancet windows, graceful sculptures and an atmosphere of antiquity make it one of the most picturesque sights in Paris. Climbing the tower is a real adventure! The view from the top is stunning: a panorama of the historic center, the Seine, the Isle de la Cité and even the Eiffel Tower in the distance. The stairs are narrow and steep, but the effort is worth it. It is especially beautiful here on a sunny day, when the stone details of the tower play with chiaroscuro, or in the evening, when the lights are turned on. There is a cozy park nearby where you can relax after climbing.

A piece of Paris. Fits perfectly into the architecture of the city. 5 minutes walk from Notre Dame de Paris. It has its own park, inside you can relax on benches after long walks to the shops.

Walking near the Paris City Hall, I turned my attention to this tower, a tall structure standing alone in a small square. I looked at it up close for quite a long time - a very interesting ornament and the very column of this tower.

Favorite place in Paris. Did you know that it was here that the hunchback lived – the prototype of Quasimodo from Victor Hugo's Notre Dame Cathedral?
